"Solid" (?) PDF converter performance

Can the integrated Solid PDF Converter do any better than this?:

I tried tweaking some settings, but it's the same worthless rubbish. I'm just asking to know if there's a point in trying any further, or should I dismiss the tool completely. I remember from Trados 2011 that it wasn't very helpful either. Although, to be fair, Solid in 2017 did convert that one simple PDF I had accepted this morning neatly.

The same file is converted into .docx by Acrobat 2011 without any problems - except for the fact that it gives me a tag error when trying to MT it in Trados subsequently. So it's just jumping between problems with software these days, sadly.

  • Hi  ,

    I guess if you just posted the image into the thread instead of linking it you'd see what you did as you go. Use the advanced editing options and you can add images and files, apply formatting etc.

    On Solid... I mentioned IRIS because this is a superior OCR technology and it's available to you free in Studio 2017. So why would you keep asking about Solid when you already have a better solution available to you in Studio? I don't know if Solid is better than Adobe or not... it probably depends on the source... one may be better than others.

    I also think your best bet is to convert a PDF first using whatever your preferred solution is for the source file you have.  Then clean up the OCR'd file and translate the DOCX instead.  Always a better approach for PDF files in my opinion.
